JUST BITTEN
An unexpected layering of lipstick and eyeshadow is responsible for this freshly kissed look. Makeup artist Louise Rae explains: "I first applied the Giorgio Armani lipstick to the middle of the lips with a fluffy brush and blended this outwards. I finished by pressing in a light dusting of eyeshadow over the top to set and give dimension."

BUILD ME UP, BUTTERCUP
It's time to make use of the least loved shade in your makeup palette: neon yellow. "Ensure the eyelid is completely free of oil or residue before you start," says Louise. "The key here is to make it appear as matte as possible. Use a small eyeshadow brush to press a cream-based yellow eyeshadow over the eyelid and along the lower waterline. Then layer up your mascara for a spidery lash effect."

Layering powder with pencil is the key to achieving this high saturation look. "This is a super easy look to achieve," Louise says. "Use a soft brush to apply powder to the inner corner, keeping the colour along the lower waterline tight. I used the Shiseido Kajal InkArtist Shadow Liner then used an angled brush to connect the inner corner with the lower waterline."

GLOSSING OVER
The underliner trend features a wash of colour subtly smudged along the lower waterline. Up the ante with a highly glossed eyelid. "Start with a natural fibre brush and apply the first layer of powder by pressing it into skin. Continue this process until you've built up to your desired hue," says Louise.

WASH OVER ME
If the thought of all-over blue eyeshadow is too much for you, try a watercolour approach. "Start off with a small amount of product on a fluffy brush and wash the colour across the upper eyelid, being careful not to extend too far up beyond the crease of the eye," says Louise. "If you don't have the right type of brush to blend that dense pigment out, it's not going to work."

Achieve this subtle flush of colour, known as 'draping', from the cheekbones to the temples using a mix of cream-based blush and highlighter that melts into skin. "Cream textures work best when applied with a brush," says Louise. "I used a combination of a rounded brush and a fan brush to lightly sweep colour across the cheeks, eyelids and towards the hairline. Cream textures are really buildable so you can start with a little product and work up to your desired level of colour."
